Octopizzo ako wapi bana? King Kaka’s ‘Dundaing’ only Kenyan song in Apple Music’s 2018 A-list

Apple Music has released a list of African music that made waves in 2018 and only one Kenyan is on the list; King Kaka.

The list, which is first for the streaming platform, was largely dominated by Nigeria, which has 19 songs featured. The country is followed by fellow West African nation Ghana with 13 songs.

Dundaing which features Kristoff and Magix Enga, has over 1 million views on YouTube and has been winning in all ways.  Last week, the hit made waves after it played during an NBA game between Portland Trail Blazers and Dallas Mavericks.
